Description
If you're flying to or from Florida the day after Christmas, you may be met with delays. This applies to Tampa International Airport.
According to TPA, the Federal Aviation Administration has implemented a delay program that impacts Florida airports. Because of this, some flights will be delayed.
TPA advises travelers to check directly with their airlines for the most up-to-date flight updates.
"TRAVEL ALERT: The FAA has implemented a delay program impacting Florida airports, including TPA," the airport tweeted Tuesday morning. "As a result, some flights may be delayed. Please check directly with your airline for the latest flight updates."
According to flight tracker FlightAware, 240 flights have been delayed at Tampa International Airport as of 10 p.m. on Tuesday. Information from TPA's Flight Status shows most delayed flights are from Southwest Airlines, an airline that saw mass cancellations and delays across the country just last year.
In fact, Southwest delayed 45% of their flights on Dec. 26 at TPA.
"They kept changing, sometimes it’d be sooner, sometimes it’d be later," Linda Stevens, a Southwest passenger traveling to Chicago with her husband, said.
